Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Creak

Cheng Youran looked confused when she made double the house price.

In the video call, she saw the background on the other side, and the more she looked, the more familiar it felt. Suddenly realizing, she blurted out, "Su Xiaolu! Where are you?! You, this... Why do I feel like you’re in my hospital?!"

Cheng Youran hadn’t been discharged yet either. Although her food poisoning was mostly better, she was still staying in the hospital. Lei Yang wouldn’t sign her discharge papers, saying she needed more rest and recovery.

She almost lost her temper, but the nurses in the department persuaded her, saying Professor Lei meant well because she had been working too hard recently and her body was somewhat weak, so it was better to stay a couple more days.

Anyway, Cheng Youran felt that the scene at Su Lu’s side was somewhat similar to her own side.

Su Lu gave a cry of surprise.

"What are you ’ah’ing about? Tell me isn’t it true? Why are you in the hospital? What’s wrong with you?" Cheng Youran became a bit anxious.

Su Lu saw that she couldn’t hide it anymore, mainly because even her mother wasn’t kept in the dark, Su Lu also didn’t feel like hiding it from You Ran anymore.

She gave her room number, "Come over."

When Cheng Youran heard it was the pediatric ward, her voice cracked, "You actually hid it from me! What’s wrong with Xiao Le?! Where is he unwell?"

Su Xiaolu saw the video call shake drastically, clearly Cheng Youran got out of bed and hurried to the pediatric ward.

Whether it was because she was in a rush and her breathing was rapid, making her voice a bit low, or because she was almost crying, her voice sounded low.

Cheng Youran asked in a low voice, "Did I infect him?! It’s all my fault!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your condition wasn’t viral. What would you have infected him with? It has nothing to do with you. Let’s talk when you get here."

Su Lu ended the call.

Zhao Ying asked confusedly, "Why is You Ran also in the hospital?"

"Ah, she got food poisoning." Su Lu said helplessly, "Couldn’t wait for the delivery and just had to drink expired cocoa to fill her stomach, and that landed her in trouble."

"Oh my, how could she still eat recklessly at her age," Zhao Ying raised her hand to her forehead.

It wasn’t long before Cheng Youran burst in like a whirlwind, only to find Zhao Ying there, and then her intimidating momentum subsided slightly.

The roar seemed already at the brink of escaping her throat, but upon seeing Zhao Ying, she swallowed it back painfully, her face nearly turning green.

"Zhao... Aunt Zhao, what are you doing here?"

"I had to be here," Zhao Ying laughed. "I was the one who asked Su Lu to call you. Needed to talk to you about something."

"Ah? Oh, I see." Cheng Youran responded dully a couple of times, then glanced at Su Lu with a side-eye, her look clearly saying she’d settle the score later.

She then obediently asked Zhao Ying, "Aunt Zhao, what did you need from me?"

Zhao Ying naturally told Cheng Youran about the house deal, leaving Cheng Youran completely bewildered.

Her face filled with question marks, she blinked her eyes, "Aunt Zhao, are you saying you want to give me double the house price?"

"Yes," Zhao Ying smiled, thinking Cheng Youran would demur, and Zhao had even prepared her persuasive speech.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Youran just blinked and then nodded her head, "Oh! Okay, thank you Aunt Zhao! Doubling the house price for no reason, if there’s such a good deal next time, please let me know."

Zhao Ying was immediately amused by Cheng Youran, "Oh you silly girl."

Cheng Youran nodded absentmindedly, "Aunt Zhao, is everything okay here now?"

"Yep, no problems now. I mainly came here for this matter," said Zhao Ying.

"That’s fine then." Cheng Youran then gritted his molars and looked furiously at Su Lu, "Su Lu! Explain yourself! What exactly happened?"

"Uh..." Su Lu licked his lips.

Zhao Ying did not intend to rescue her daughter at all, but instead got up and said, "Alright then, you two chat for a bit. I’m going to buy some breakfast; I’m starving after catching the red-eye flight here."

Su Lu stretched out his hand, hoping for his mother’s love one more time, but Zhao Ying left without mercy, even carrying away Zhao Xiaole, who had just finished using the restroom.

Cheng Youran, being a medical student, had briefly browsed Zhao Xiaole’s medical record already, so she understood the gravity of the situation. She clearly knew that Zhao Xiaole was fine now, but during the critical moment, it must have been extremely urgent.

"This is serious! And you didn’t tell me!"

"You were sick!"

"You better tell me the whole truth! It’s not like Xiaole’s allergies are new; you’ve always been careful. It’s impossible for you to make such a careless mistake!"

Cheng Youran was very sharp.

Su Lu had nothing to hide, so he explained everything clearly.

Cheng Youran stayed silent for a while, then said, "Truly... what a tragic fate."

"Isn’t it?" Su Lu shrugged self-deprecatingly.

"I thought you wouldn’t agree," Cheng Youran softened and gently squeezed his hand, sighing lightly, "You really love Xiaole."

"He’s my only son," said Su Lu.

Since both Cheng Youran and Lei Yang had said Xiaole could be discharged from the hospital, Su Lu did not feel much psychological pressure and calmly processed Zhao Xiaole’s discharge.

He decided not to trouble Zhao Ying to come pick them up; she had traveled too hard.

Su Lu packed up, completed the discharge procedures himself.

Lei Yang was quite nice, having a surgery scheduled but still making time to check on Xiaole before the operation, to ease her mind.

However, Qiao Li had to go to a neighboring town for an important job.

Uncharacteristically for such a gentle man, he was quite anxious, "I thought the discharge wouldn’t be so soon. I—I’m out of town on a business trip, what if I can’t make it back? Did you tell Su Zhe about this? Can I ask him to come and pick you up from the hospital?"

Qiao Li was indeed a gentle person, speaking softly, so even his urgency only sped up his speech slightly.

But from Su Lu’s understanding of him, this was already a sign of him being very agitated.

"It’s okay, don’t worry. I haven’t told Su Zhe yet, and you shouldn’t either, so he won’t worry. I can take Xiaole home myself. It’s not a big deal."

Fortunately, Qiao Li quickly regained his composure and calmed down, "Alright. Then I’ll arrange a car to pick you up."

Thus, when Su Lu, carrying Zhao Xiaole and a few belongings, arrived at the entrance of the hospital ward building, he saw a car slowly pulling up and stop in front of them. The car’s windows were covered with one-way heat insulating film, tightly sealed. The driver got out to open the car doors for him and Xiaole.

"Miss Su, please get in the car."

The backseat was thoughtfully equipped with a child safety seat. Su Lu settled into the seat holding his child, placed Xiaole into the safety seat, and had just buckled him in when he heard his child’s crisp, surprised, low exclamation.

For some reason, as if having a premonition, a jolt went through Su Lu’s heart.
